0I believe this extract I have refers to tankers.It should be something that would convey the idea that the tankers are not safe to use anymore, that is, they are a risk both the staff and to nature. I guess I'm looking for a nice adjective, or 2 adjectives if necessary, that I could add before the 'ship'. But the idea that the tankers are in poor condition should be made evident. 0-
